Objective: The well-established link between body fat distribution and metabolic health has
been suggested to act through an impact on the remodeling capacity of the adipose tissue …

Objective Genome‐wide association studies (GWAS) have identified single‐nucleotide
polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with estimates of body fat distribution. Using predefined …

Purpose Obesity is a heterogeneous condition and distinct adiposity subtypes may
differentially affect type 2 diabetes risk. We assessed relations between genetically …

The past decade has witnessed the discovery of obesity-related genetic variants and their
functions through genome-wide association studies. Combinations of risk alleles can …

The aim of our study was to investigate a large cohort of overweight subjects consuming a
homogeneous diet to identify the genetic factors associated with weight loss that could be …

Previous studies suggested that genetic, environmental factors and their interactions could
affect body fat mass (BFM). However, studies describing these effects were performed at a …

Importance Body fat distribution, usually measured using waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), is an
important contributor to cardiometabolic disease independent of body mass index (BMI) …

Genome-wide association studies have identified single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)
associated with waist circumference (WC) and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) adjusted for BMI …

Background Obesity is a complex, multifactorial disease associated with substantial
morbidity and mortality worldwide. Although it is frequently assessed using BMI, many …

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have uncovered numerous variants associated
with body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, and waist-to-hip ratio. Our study aims to …
